MHF in the UK has been advocating for mindfulness since 2010; they see it as a very valuable tool for protecting and sustaining good mental health.

Since then, they have established a specific website about mindfulness – BeMindful.co.uk and developed our own online mindfulness training course – bemindfulonline.com.

For many thousands of people, practicing mindfulness provides them with a very real way of feeling less overwhelmed by their life, difficult situations and experiences. Some think it sounds a bit fluffy or unscientific but Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBCT / MBSR) are actually scientifically proven to help people have better sleep quality, reduce levels of anxiety, depression and stress and reduce the amount people chew things over in their minds (rumination).

Because of this, it’s very empowering to know that you can control your reactions and feelings in any situation without others even being aware of it.”

Remember mindfulness is not necessarily meditation. It is awareness and it can be used every day as a way of checking-in with yourself and asking ‘am I okay?’ Mindfulness can also teach you to be kind to yourself.”
